At least seven people have died and 14 are in a life-threatening condition after a fire broke out in a building in southern Taiwan on Thursday, local media reported.
The blaze started in the 13-story commercial and residential building at 2:54 a.m. local time (2:54 p.m. ET) in Kaohsiung city's Yancheng district, Taiwan's official Central News Agency (CNA) said.
Authorities have warned the number of casualties could rise as some people may still be trapped in the residential part of the building, between the seventh and eleventh floors, the city's fire chief, Lee Ching-hsiu, said.
